Also, did I not tell you MLPF people were gonna try and do some things together? Though, to be fair, iirc the stuff they went to do together was like, dinners and such moreso than just run around the con together. Dinner and breakfast would have been a bit odd without actually knowing people, imo. Also, I totally wouldn't mind actually trying to get into this place again, but I really don't see that happening very easily, tbh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Badges

August 8, 2019 Here's the thing: I gave up asking for art feedback because I rarely get any. I then gave up asking for art advice because most of the advice I've gotten turned out to be useless. I've began to distance myself from art communities because their standards and mine are too different to ever be compatible. I can't stand being told to change something that I've done for years on the basis that what I've done as a stylistic choice is being misinterpreted as an error. I'd rather not be nitpicked on what I don't do but instead know what I did right, but since figuring out what I did right is an unanswerable question, I simply don't ask for any sort of feedback at all.

Dude, for me it's the other way around. I gave up giving advice because people often got pissed over receiving feedback. I don't want another witch hunt lol (there's a subreddit for mlp art critique, and I'm sure one for all other art as well) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Badges

Usually I was in FB groups but left most by now. And most of them were locals. I can just talk for the mlpdrawingschool on reddit that they even make videos explaining what could have been better / point out flaws etc. I've let them critique my Sunburst drawing as well Back in the days when I was still giving critique I once told a "friend" that her wig styling fell flat on the back of her head - due to the travel - and I offered her "hey, let's go to the bathroom, I'll help you fix it real quick". She then ran to another group of friends telling them I said her wig "looked like sh*t" and then I had 6 months of slander and people calling me a "w**re, dying on the streets". 5 minutes ago, be my waifu said: i think there were a few in baltimore this past weekend, was hard to tell though... also your art is cute af btw Idk about the US cons, but I see friends posting about cons all the time - there are soooo many, it's awesome ;w; in my country we have a few but you can't compare them to those of bigger countries (like germany, france or well - the usa).

This thing's always happened wherever I go: rotations, lack of pupils, lack of mouths, even how I format my writing and even how I name characters, all subject to nitpicking. Like, it's not personal incompetence if I'm intentionally making a style that is supposed to be as lightweight on features as possible; how many times do I have to tell that to people? Honestly, I just wanna uphold my design choices with an iron fist, even if it means never getting feedback ever again.

With my piece they pointed out anatomical mistakes (horn too high, hip rotation wrong). But you do you. I just wanted to give you the heads up that the subreddit exists and actually does give critique if you're looking for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Badges

I once tried to branch out to Reddit, and the absence of pupils already screamed incompleteness to some people. I basically now go there not to ask what others think, but to abandon what I have.
